About Stonephish — see where every link really goes
Most scam emails don't need malware. They just need you to click a link, ring a
number, or send money. Stonephish sits quietly in your inbox and tells you, in
plain words, when a message is doing one of those things.
WHERE EVERY LINK ACTUALLY GOES
Not the text of the link — the real destination, shown before you click. A
button reading "Cancel this payment" that leads to a lookalike domain registered
last week is the whole scam in one line. It also reads addresses hidden inside
QR codes and PDF attachments, which no email app shows you.
WHEN A SENDER ISN'T WHO THEY CLAIM
A support team writing from a domain that has nothing to do with the company.
A grandchild writing from an address that only resembles a real one. The genuine
sending domains of hundreds of banks, retailers, couriers and government
agencies are built in, and any mismatch is spelled out plainly.
WHEN A PHONE NUMBER ISN'T THEIRS
Fake receipts work by getting you to call. There is no link to click, so
nothing looks wrong. The number in the message gets checked against the real one.
WHEN THE MONEY COULD NEVER BE GOT BACK
Some ways of paying cannot be undone, and scams choose them deliberately.
Those requests are recognised, along with the pressure that arrives with them —
the demand for secrecy, the emergency story, the refund you are asked to send
back on an overpayment that never happened.
WRITTEN FOR PEOPLE, NOT SECURITY TEAMS
There is no risk score to interpret and no jargon. When something is wrong,
Stonephish names the specific trick and tells you what to do instead. It is
built to be understood by the person in your family most likely to be targeted.
It also stays quiet. A tool that cries wolf gets switched off, so the warnings
are tuned hard against false alarms: an ordinary receipt or newsletter passes
by in silence.
